What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the friendly and helpful staff, delicious food, and the entertaining drag queens who are described as funny and stunning. However, some reviewers found the show to be amateurish with queens not knowing lyrics or lip-syncing poorly, and the food was sometimes called mediocre.

About this place 't Sluisje

At 't Sluisje the drag queens wait your table and do the show as well. This small restaurant on the Torensteeg, off the Singel canal in Amsterdam's centre, has served three-course dinners with drag entertainment since 1995. Expect the queens to sing, joke and tease the tables between courses. By dessert most of the room is usually joining in. The food is simple Dutch-international. People book for the show, but the meal is decent. The room is small, so book ahead, especially at weekends and for birthday groups. It's an easy first drag night for friends who haven't been to one before.

Great atmosphere. Very nicely done. You can sing along, and everyone joins in automatically.

A fantastically fun evening full of entertainment and amazing drag queens. They radiate so much love to the audience. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Staff were rude and overcharged us by a lot. The food was not amazing and the drag artists just mimed badly and stood at the bar most of the night. Do not recommend at all!
